A Business Plan Report, more commonly known as a Business Plan is a document that outlines the strategic goals, operational details, and financial projections of a business.
It serves as a roadmap for entrepreneurs and stakeholders, providing a detailed overview of the company’s mission, market analysis, competitive landscape, organisational structure, and anticipated financial performance.
This document is crucial for guiding decision-making, attracting investors, and ensuring a clear understanding of the business’s trajectory and potential challenges.
